The Missouri Botanical Garden is situated on ancestral and traditional land of the Chickasaw Nation, Illini Tribe, Ioway Tribe, Kickapoo Tribe, Osage Nation, Otoe-Missouria Tribe, and the Quapaw Nation.
We acknowledge the ongoing relationships these Nations have with this land and urge non-Native people to educate themselves about this history and about the contemporary work of tribal sovereignty within these Nations.
Through this acknowledgement, we honor the Elders and their descendants of these Indigenous Nations in order to bring visibility to these long-silenced histories while working toward a more just and equitable future.
